Management Information Systems and Services at George Fox University

Management Information Systems programs in Oregon cluster tightly around $63,000 in first-year earnings, and George Fox appears positioned right at this state median based on comparable programs. What complicates the picture is debt: while similar MIS programs nationally carry about $24,000-26,000 in student loans, Oregon programs typically produce lower debt loads—the state median sits at just $17,500. George Fox's estimated $26,581 suggests graduates here may be borrowing more than peers at Oregon's public universities to reach similar earnings outcomes.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.42 remains manageable by national standards for this field, meaning estimated annual debt payments would consume roughly 4-5% of gross income under standard repayment plans. MIS graduates generally see strong labor market demand, and these estimated earnings put George Fox's program right in line with what Oregon State and Southern Oregon produce. The financial tension isn't about earning potential—it's about whether the additional borrowing delivers value beyond what Oregon's public alternatives offer.

If your student is committed to George Fox for its smaller class sizes or faith-based mission, the estimated financial picture isn't alarming for a technical business degree. But compare actual financial aid packages carefully against Oregon State or other state schools, where similar programs appear to produce comparable earnings with substantially less debt.
